I didn't use ANY of my check to stimulate the economy! It all went to bills.

I said it won't stimulate. Mine will go to bills as well, and I know MANY people who are putting theirs toward Visa. On the contrary, maybe this will do a long term stimulus with folks FINALLY saving some money.

I probably spent $100 on stuff but that is just because it's finally spring and I needed some new things. I would have spent the money anyway. It's all going to bills and being saved for a house.

it's going in my savings with the rest of my money

Mine will be stimulating the European economy

It's not going to help the economy, but if I say it will, and they'll send more checks, hey.... It's going to be 2004 all over again! ~.0

Part of my check is going to pay taxes. ARGH! Stupid ad valorem tax. The rest will stimulate the economy in a month or so.

i doubt it'll have much of an impact. mine went to paying down my creidt card debt, although my mom said she'd buy me a new pair of sneakers with her rebate check lol.

My check went right to my credit card bill- which the economy had helped stimulate

I am right there with the mass majority I am going to be paying bills with my check. That's it that's all. Bringing down my National Debt

Wow! Am I the first commenter who is actually supporting the economy? My bf moved in with me in November, and we don't have a bedroom suite. We are sleeping on just a bed frame w/ the box spring & mattress. I have those plastic "tubs" that I keep my clothes in. The rest of his that aren't hung up are just piled on the floor. It's a horrible mess & makes me sick. We are using our checks to buy a proper bed, dresser, etc.

Well, I think it's finally time for me to own a Louis Vuitton bag, so I guess I will be supporting the French economy. Oops.

I wish I could use my check to stimulate the economy. However, seeing as I've been unemployed for a few months, I'm using it to try to keep myself afloat for a little while longer

I paid down bills as well.

Mine is definitely going just to saving, which I guess will eventually stimulate the economy. However, it isn't quite what the government is hoping for.

This check will NOT help stimulate the economy, but I'm sure they will spin it to make it seem like it did. This check is starting to look more and more like a ripoff anyways I know of people who were supposed to get $600 and it was taxed-or whatever excuse the gov't came up with- and these people only got $327, what a JOKE!

My check is going to CC bills and my son's school tuition.

i don't think that it's going to impact the economy in a positive way. for me, i'm going to use the money that i get back to pay off some of my credit cards...and that's what a lot of others are probably going to do i'm sure. anything that i can do to reduce my debt right now is going to be for the better i think.

I don't believe it will stimulate the economy, most people will use it for bills, future vacations, and/or gas. I have not received mine as of yet, was suppose to get it on Friday. Sighs. Mine will go to bills.

I don't think it will have as big of an impact on the economy as the government would like. Most people are going to be paying bills and putting money into savings. Which isn't a bad thing. This country does need to save more money! Myself included. My check will go to bills and savings. I won't be stimulating the economy. I'll just be stimulating the bill collectors. Lol.

My check will be used to pay bills, but some people I know haven't received theirs yet. My Mom was supposed to get hers on Friday and didn't. I'm supposed to get mine this Friday, so we'll see what happens. I don't know what that's about though. I thought that you were sure to get it on time if you had direct deposit. I guess that the government is late paying its obligations like many Americans are these days. ?

I will save some and buy a grill with the rest. I can't wait to have BBQ's this summer at our new house!

Wish I was getting one

when i get my check, it's going directly to pay for bills.

I had to pay $1500 in taxes this year, and then my car broke down and I had to put an emergency $1500 on my credit card for that. The $600 I get back will barely make a dent in paying off all that.

Wishful thinking but I doubt it...

Mine will go to support my beloved Mexico's economy

Most of my check will go towards my car loan. I might buy a $200 bike with some of it.

Mine is paying bills. Everyone I have talked to is doing the same thing or putting it into savings.

I only got $300 and it was all spent on my car. Shocks/brakes, etc. I think if they want to boost the economy, give more than $300 minimum. $300 is practically nothing these days.

If the government wants to stimulate the economy, they would enact legislation to force the price of gas downwards...after all, its our dumb president who's family owns those effin reserves. Obviously, most checks are going for bills and gas, so he gets paid double.
